Are you finding it difficult to prioritize yourself? Maybe you're struggling with anxiety, stress, self worth, or strains in your relationships. Friends have suggested therapy, but getting started feels overwhelming. Listen, I get it. I know just how difficult it can be to find an inclusive therapist that aligns with your worldview. I support clients from all walks of life and specialize in working with the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. Whether you're navigating a specific issue or looking for a space to process weekly stressors, my solution-oriented approach can help you reach your goals. Let's get you feeling like yourself again!

In our work together, we'll create an actionable plan that is tailored to your pace and needs. My collaborative approach infuses humor and creativity into sessions to make our time together enjoyable and engaging.
